SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 341,993, dated May 18,1886.

Application filed October 13, 1585. Serial No. 179.776. (No model.)

ornamental chain-link for watch-chains, neck-V laces, and otherpurposes; and the invention consists of a chain-link formed of twoobliquely-cut abutting box-links provided with notches at the outercorners and abutting at one side, and of connecting-links that passthrough the box-links.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents atop view; Fig. 2,ahorizontalsection on line 00 m, Fig. 3; and Fig. 3, a side elevation ofa watch or other chain made of my improved chain-links.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A A in the drawings represent two ornamental box-links, which are cutobliquely from a flattened tube, so as to form a flat link of rhomboidshape. The box-links A A are placed sidewise ofeach other,so that theyabut at one of their open sides, and are connected at opposite ends byring-shaped links BB, which extend through both links A A, as shown inFig. 2. The ring-shaped connecting-links B B are preferably made of awidth equal to the width of both links A A, in which case the box-linksA A are provided at their opposite outer corners with notches a a forthe ringshaped links B. The ring-shaped links B of two adjoining membersor links of the chain are again connected by ringshaped links, as shownin the drawings.

The box-links A A may be made in any suit-able shape and with plain orornamental tops or edges. They form with the ringshaped links achain-link of ornamental appearance, in which the parts are held inproper position without the use of solder.

Having thus described my in'vention,I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- 1. An ornamental chain-link consisting of twoobliquely-cut boX-links abutting at one side, and OtcOnnecting-linkspassing through adjoining ends of the box-links, substantially as setforth.

2. An ornamental chain-link consisting of two obliquely-cut box-linksabutting at one side and having notches at their outer corners, and ofconnecting-links passing through adjoining ends of said box-links,substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed myname in euce of two subscribing witnesses.
